POT PRGTECTE.

application filed april 2, i921. Serial No. 457,327@

V`vlfaterloo, in the county oi" Blackhawk and State of Iowa:y have invented a new and lmproved Pot rotector7 of which the following is a uii, clear, and exact description.

rihis invention relates to improvements in '11 protectors.J an object of the invention beto provide a protector tor pots7 which 1l eilectively prevent the infiammablc handles of coifee pots and the like from be coming` scorched or overheated while the pots are on the iire.

,d further object is to provide a protector which will support a coi'iee pot over a gas burner in such a way that there is no danger in blaclrening the sides oit the pot and protector which may be conveniently shifted from one burner to another while it is hot.

fr still further object to provide a device of the character stated, which will be strong and durable in use, simple and practical in construction, and comparatively inexpensive to manufacture.

il? ith these and other objects in view, the invention consists in certain novei teatures of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts., as will be more fully hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims.

ln the accompanying drawings 1- Figrure l is a top plan view of my improved protector;

lFigure 2 is a View in side elevation thereillustrating the protector in applied position; and i Figure 3 is a top plan view, illustrating a slight modification.

Referring in detail to Figures land 2 oi? the drawings, l have iliustrated `in dotted` lines in Fignre 2, thetop plate 5 of a gas range7 which is provided with the usual opening; to expose a circular burner 6. The got protector is formed from a single sheet ot material and includes a flat annular pot supiiorting member such as 7, adapted to be located over the burner 6 and having a central circular openincv 8 adapted to expose the bottom ot a codee pot, indicated in dotted lines at 8 to the flames of the burner. im tegral upwardly presented lugs 9 are provided at intervals around the outer edgeot the member 7 and serve to prevent the pot from sliding' on this member.

i guard plate 10 is oi'set from the plane oi? the member 7 and is located in a parallel piane thereto, being connected tothe member 'T by an integral connecting strip such as l i. Ilfhis guard pla effectively creensthe hani die l2 oif the coii'ee pot from the heat oi' the burner.

rihat edge of the guard plate v-:hicl'i is furthest removed from the member 'Y is formed with an integral extension bent bach upon the plate to provide handle member i8 in the form oi ring. This handle member facilitates the transterring` oi? the protector from one burner to anotherwithout removing the pot from the protector, shouldL such. shitting become desirable. cilitates at all times the handlingof the protector and obviates the nec.` ity of the user soiling his hands.

lt isto be understood that the Vprotector may be made from any kind ot sheet meta. capable ot being pressed into the desired shape.

'in Figure 27 l have illustrated a slightly modiiied form of the device, wherein a fiat ringl la is substituted for the lun; carrying supporting member 7.

Various silight changes and al"` Ail is might be made in the general form and arrangement ot thc parts described without de .f2 i.' parting; irom the invention and hence l do not wish to limit myself to the precise details set forth, but shall consider mysehc at yliberty to make such slight changes and alterations as 'fairly 'fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

l claim:

l. As a new article oi manufacture, a protector of the character described for use with vessels having' handles. and including' a flat supporting* ring, a flame guard comprisingl a plate offset trom the plane of the ring and integral therewith, and an extension on said dame `guard bent provide a ring shaped handle member.

2. As a new article of manufacture, a protector oi the character described for use with vessels having handlesj and including a iiat supporting' ring, `darne guard comprisinga plate offset from the plane of the ring and integral therewith, and an extension on said Haine guard bent in a plane perpendicular to the' plane oic said plate to provide a ring-shaped handle member located wholly above the plate.

JHN V. JEWELL.
